Quick take
Commercial-grade crab trap with dual funnels, dual escape rings, and turtle excluder devices for legal crabbing.
This is a Maryland-style blue crab pot built from vinyl-coated wire, sized 24 by 12 by 12 inches. It has two funnels, two turtle excluder devices and escape rings, and comes with a 15 ft rope, a marker float and a crab and lobster gauge. It suits crabbers working Chesapeake-area waters who want a ready-to-fish setup, though other states may need different excluder sizes.
